5.Magnetism and Matter
easy

Two points $A$ and $B$ are situated at a distance $x$ and $2x$ respectively from the nearer pole of a magnet $2\,cm$ long. The ratio of magnetic field at $A$ and $B$ is

A

$4 : 1$ exactly

B

$4 : 1$ approximately

C

$8 : 1$ approximately

D

$1 : 1$ approximately

Solution

Taking distances from the centre of the magnet,

$\frac{{{B_1}}}{{{B_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{x_2}}}{{{x_1}}}} \right)^3} = {\left( {\frac{{2x + 1}}{{x + 1}}} \right)^3} = 8:1$ , approximaetly.
